Paint protection film

Post by hsyben » Thu May 09, 2024 9:42 pm

I've had my front bumper painted and don't want to scratch it on a curb so I'm thinking about covering the bottom of the front skirt with ppf tape available in Amazon.

Has anyone done this?
Is it a doable DIY task? Does it work? Does it look ok?
Thanks

I’m not sure PPF will withstand scraping on a kerb?

PPF won’t protect from kerb scrapes, It’s to protect from stone chips. All you’ll do is tear it, waste of time and money under a bumper.
